((The Kairos Journal)) One of the most memorable American television images is a 1970s Ad Council ((“The Ad Council is a private, non-profit organization that marshals volunteer talent from the advertising and communications industries, the facilities of the media, and the resources of the business…
Ryan Polk, Associate Pastor at Trinity Baptist Church, has felt impressed by our Lord to start “The Wilberforce Initiative” which will provide a venue for Trinity as well as citizens from across the spectrum to seek to bring our Christian worldview to bear upon some of the most pressing social, moral, intellectual and spiritual issues…
